Cloud, DevOps & reliability Videos Recommended on Hacker News (89)
Cloud, DevOps & reliability is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 89 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2010 and 2026 — 198 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Cloud and operations: AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, DevOps, SRE, incident postmortems, outages, deployment, infrastructure as code, self-hosting, monitoring, scaling, mainframes and data centers.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on Velocity NY 2013: Richard Cook, "Resilience In Complex Adaptive Systems": “One of the most important talks I've ever seen is Richard Cook's” — an HN commenter, 2018.
